HELP!  I was the original poster of the NSAP thread.  I have gotten many
responses, but I finally got one that has me very, very confused.

It seems that the CSMA ES and IS addresses have been stable for some time;
however, I am dealing with Token Ring and thought I had the problem licked
until today.

Here are the addresses in question - but there is a *new* standard that has
yet to be logged as official...and the addresses have changed!

802.5 ESIS_ES ES address

c0.00.00.08.00.00
03.00.00.10.00.00      NIST 1988, MAP/TOP, three vendors

c0.00.00.00.40.00      NIST 1990 OSI Workshop (draft???) and cisco
03.00.00.00.02.00

802.5 ESIS_IS IS address

c0.00.00.10.00.00
03.00.00.08.00.00      NIST 1988, MAP/TOP, three vendors

c0.00.00.00.80.00
03.00.00.00.01.00      NIST 1990 OSI Workshop (draft???) and cisco

I also understand that there are other standards bodies involved in Europe that
adhere to the NIST 1988 and MAP/TOP agreements...and that the 1990 Workshop
stuff is not yet written into the books.  Where can I FTP a copy of both the
1988 NIST and 1990 NIST documents...why change addresses?  I understand using
the least-significant-bit of the MSByte - but these changes/differences are
'in the middle' of the address.   Oh, help. Oh, help.
